Cologne (SID) - Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich (CSU) has given all-clear signal with regard to possible terrorist attacks at the beginning on the Sunday World Cup of women. "There is no evidence of a concrete danger to the women's World Cup." Also not to an attack by nuclear means. Our security agencies are aware, but no evidence for any specific danger. "And we are optimally positioned in every way, to bring this World Cup also organizationally successfully and safely across the stage," Friedrich said in an interview with the Bild-Zeitung (Saturday Edition).

The Minister hopes tailwind for the Munich-based application for the edition of the Winter Olympics 2018. "one of the largest pounds of our Olympic bid is the sports craze of the Germans, in that it could be that this gives the application still additional impetus," said Friedrich by atmospheric images in the first days of the World Cup. The Olympia award will be decided on 6 July in Durban, South Africa.
